strangely mom family period has been very supportive even my girlfriends parents have been for that matter. I guess its due to the fact that my mom had a camaro when i was little and still talks about speeding in it and the majority of my cousins mod cars or race in some form or fashion. I thought I was the only person in my fam that even modded imports til my cousin brought up the fact that he has a team as well. still can't wait til november to settle scores.

all in all tho yeah your family is going to worry about money especially now with how things are. They are just looking out for you. Be happy for that at least because some people aren't that lucky. The asian parent thing sucks balls i know from having to deal with two ex's (one Cambodian and one Fillipino/britt) I think they just are perfectionist.
